Administrating a SketchUp license on multiple machines
To fill in the serial number and authorization code for users, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the appropriate version of SketchUp Pro is installed on all computers.
2. Create a file named activation_info.txt.
3. In that file, add your network serial number and authorization code in the following format:
{
"serial_number":"VA-00001234-VMR",
"auth_code":"a123b456c789a"
}
Example:
{"serial_number":"VA-00001234-VMR","auth_code":"aa123b456c789a}
4. Save the file and distribute it to each machine. On Microsoft Windows, distribute the file to
C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2020. On Mac OS X, distribute the file to
/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2020.
5. Launch SketchUp on each machine or ask your users to open SketchUp Pro. In the
Welcome to SketchUp dialog box that appears, click the Add License button at the top and
then click Add License in the License area that appears.

Performing a Silent Install with SketchUp 2020
SketchUp has the option to be run silently for distributed installations. You won't need this
option unless you're deploying SketchUp on a large scale. If you're working with larger
installations and a network license, be sure to read our article on that subject as well:
Administering a Network License

About your regular network license
Please be aware that we do not support Virtual Environments. It is against the EULA.
Contact your Key Contact for other possibilities. (Private Server)
Internet
Make sure these ports are open:
5053, 50530 (network servers)
80,8080, 443 (general usage)
In general, all *.[Link] domains should be accessible.
If you are beyond a Proxy server, timeouts and delay can cause troubles, please contact
your Key Contact.
Monitoring your network license
You can monitor the usage here: [Link]
You have to use a Trimble ID with the same email address that is tiered on your license.
Please note that this is only available for commercial licenses, not educational.
Checking out licenses for offline use
Users can checkout a license for offline use. The duration was set upon generating the
license and cannot be altered. You can, however, edit the Html file to remove that option
upon startup. (C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp
